Cars: The Video Game
Main Versions
Story Mode
Fillmore first appears in the Story Mode in Boostin' with Fillmore, where he challenges Lightning to a race to prove he can handle his Super Octane Boost Juice, which Lightning will earn his first Boost Segment if he can beat him. He later appears as an opponent in Sarge's Off-Road Challenge and Doc's Check-Up.
Arcade Mode
He is not playable in Arcade Mode, though he may appear as an opponent in various races (and will always appear as the fastest opponent in Boostin' with Fillmore). However, a mod made by Wikia user Adro14 allows players to play as him (and most of the other NPCs) easily on the PC version of the game, though he has also now been made playable in the Wii and Xbox 360 versions too.
PSP Version
Fillmore is a hidden playable character, who can be unlocked only by use of Cheat Codes. In the opening scene, he provides Super Octane Boost Juice to the fellow residents of Radiator Springs so they can stand up against Boost, Wingo, DJ, and Snot Rod.
Cars: Mater-National Championship
Bio
Fillmore is a 1960 VW Bus and Radiator Springs' resident hippie. A believer in individuality and all things natural, he brews his own organic fuel and preaches its many benefits.
Role
Fillmore appears as an opponent in Ornament Valley Airport, Race 'N' Chase 4, and Team Relay 2. He is now playable in Arcade Mode, but has no alternate paint jobs. The game also has you control him in Team Relay 3 as your third car.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
Fillmore is a minor playable character.
Cars 2: The Video Game
Bio
What can be said about a van who sells tie-dyed mud flaps and organic fuel? Fillmore was a hippie in the 50's and a hippie today. When he's not busy driving Sarge crazy, Fillmore spends time introducing cars to the power of his organic fuel.
Role
He is a playable character, under weight class Heavy. He also has an alt called "Brand New Fillmore".
Cars: Fast as Lightning
Fillmore is a playable character unlocked after completing the track of Chick Hicks. Once his track is completed, the player unlocks Mater.
Cars 3: Driven to Win
Fillmore is not a playable character. He can be seen watching the race in the background in some of the Radiator Springs events.
Cars:IGNITE Remake
Fillmore was likely to be a playable character, although he was never confirmed before the project was presumably cancelled.
Livery
Fillmore is mainly green with several other designs and stickers and the words "Love", "Peace", and "Groovy" on his sides.
Personality
Fillmore is the clear opposite of Sarge, never willing to fight, and telling foes things such as to "love their neighbor" or "conserve their fuel". Most of his quotes end with words such as "Man", "Dude", or "Bro".
Abilities
Fillmore's main ability is to be able to brew special organic fuel, having made one called "Super Octane Boost Juice", which made Lightning able to boost. He also outspeeds many lighter and sleeker cars such as Candice, Gudmund, and Gerald. In Cars 2: The Video Game, like Sarge, he is shown to be much slower than his other video game appearances.
